Sergeant Weber, OF the Missouri Weather
service, at st. Louis, writes q citizen of oul
town: II am requested by Prof. Nipher
Director Of the Missouri Weather Service,
to inform you that he has been authorized
to name twenty-five points to which cold
wave warnings and the daily weather indi-
cations will be sent at government expense,
on the condition that the person receiving
the kilograms will give them publicity by
purchasing and displaying the weather sig
nal flags described in the enclosed circular.
Should the public in your vicinity take
sumcient interest in this matter to purchase
and display the flags, you will please inform
this office as soon as arrangements have been
completed" The cost of procuring the pole
and flags will be ten or twelve dollars, and
we believe it would be a good plan to secure
them. Say we "chip IN" fifty cents apiece,
| and have a station.

We clip the following from the Chloride |
IN. NJ Black Range of November 18th.
The subject of the item has many friends
and acquaintances in Southeast Missouri, all |
Of whom would be glad if he were to "strIke
1t rich." Chloride Is in the richest part Of
the mineral region of New Mexico, and pay
ing prospect are not the exception. Says
the Range: "Of the most recent and i'm
portant discoveries of precious metals in this
district is the discovery Of gold, both placer
and free-milling, by Capt. Peter AXE, on
Dry creek. Capt. AXE is an experienced
miner of many years and one Of the early
of this section of the Black range
md the discoverer of the wonderful Read
ulster mine and who not long ago sold his
interest in that property for mere trifle.
Mr.. AXE has for some time past been pros
pecting for gold on Dry creek and has sue
;eeded in discovering gold bearing leads
md placer ground that give promise Of great
value, which the discoverer believes will
prove the best gold producing
section in Sierra county. Mr.. AXE has sew
sral claims located, including placers and
edges, and is now working one cradle at his
placer claim and is extracting gold, though
not in vast abundance, but in quantities
which guarantee the suggestion that the
production will largely increase when GER
ain points are gained by development. The {
gold bearing quartz lodges, so Mr.. AXE in
orms The Range, are very prominent and I
'ary in width from fifty to one hundred feet {
hat shows freely Of gold when pulverized
md PANIED down, that it is as a body, of
excellent free milling quality. Last Monday
Ir. AXE exhibited in this Office gold of ex-
eptionaly fine quality taken from his placer =
.laim."
